Opened for play in the spring of 1986, the Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes Resort is one of the most distinctive layouts in the area. This facility also hosts one of the top NCAA collegiate events of the year in the late fall.
The Hills site was blessed with continuous lines of dunes and thick stands of palmettos. The renown architect took full advantage of the natural dunes and created an continously rolling layout with dramatic elevation changes.
This course has a unique seaside character, with rough and fairway bunkers notably absent. The dune lines continue into the greens, thus creating undulating surfaces. Off-balance lies and ocean breezes are a constant challenge, and lagoons come into play on many holes.
The greens were extensively renovated during the summer of 1995. As a result, the course now offers superior, tournament-quality putting surfaces year-round.
